App Revenue and Statistics: month #13

Another month and revenue is up slightly but about the same.  I need something to bust me out of this 50-80 income range. But first I need extra time to devote to android development. Which I do not have right now.

In a reversal from last month ad revenue is down and in app sales have picked up again. I did release an update to my drinking game which could have helped that. I've shifted some of my impressions away from Admob  and to Millennial Media. And I think I'm about to move most all of it away from Admob since they are performing so terribly. I can't decide if I want to move it all to Millennial Media or try a new ad provider. With so few impressions though its hard to try too many different networks or you will never earn the minimum required to get a payment for any of them and forever have your money stuck different places.

Now on to what you came to see... The numbers:

During the month we saw 9,576 new downloads and an increase of 1,138 active installs. The download to active ratio looks terrible but Amazon doesn't show how many of the installs are active so that is bringing the numbers down.

  3. Hi,
    Any chance you could help me out with a android play store download and rating of a newly released puzzle game I've been lately working on? (it's free)

    If you, up for it here is the link to the android playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.game.numbermix

    Fell free to contact me and I'll return the favor. Just point me in the right direction.

    For the moment I can only help if you have any app/game that is available on the android play store.

    Thank you.

  4. From one Dev to another why aren't you CHARGING for your apps? With 9500 downloads this month, even if only 30% buy, and you charge a buck....you're at $2850.... And you can still serve the ads (for whatever they're worth)

    ....just sayin'

    1. The reality is that if you charge for the app you won't get close to a 30% uptake. Probably less than 1%.

  5. You're using terrible ad networks. Get yourself up running on Startapp with Leadbolt/Airpush ASAP.
